SUSE-SLES-16.0-871

This update for timezone fixes the following issues: - Update to 2026b: * British Columbia moved to permanent -07 on 2026-03-09. (bsc#1264965) * Some more overflow bugs have been fixed in zic. - Update to 2026a: * Moldova has used EU transition times since 2022. * The "right" TZif files are no longer installed by default. * -DTZ_RUNTIME_LEAPS=0 disables runtime support for leap seconds. * TZif files are no longer limited to 50 bytes of abbreviations. * zic is no longer limited to 50 leap seconds. * Several integer overflow bugs have been fixed. - Update to 2025c: * Update Baja California DST rules in 1953, 1961-1975 * An unset TZ is no longer invalid when /etc/localtime is missing, and is abbreviated "UTC" not "-00". This reverts to 2024b behavior * tzset etc. are now more cautious about questionable TZ settings. * tzset etc. now treat ' ' like '_' in time zone abbreviations * tzfree now preserves errno, consistently with POSIX.1-2024 "free". * zic has new options inspired by FreeBSD. * multiple changes visible to developers - Use "REDO=posix_right" to keep installing "right" TZif files.
